Justin on Oprah...

...talking about the William Rast line. Received this from them yesterday...

As if anyone needed another reason to purchase a pair of William Rast, Justin himself will be sitting down with Oprah this Friday March 27th to talk about…what else…his clothing line!!

This will not be about his music, movie career, or love life…even if Oprah sneaks a question in here or there about Jessica Biel. But he is on the show solely to discuss the success and future of William Rast. Everyone knows what happens when Oprah touches something…it turns to GOLD.

Tune in if you can, but I'll post it on the website as soon as it's available on youtube! Speaking of the website, we have some great runway video there now and keep checking the blog for arrival updates!!

As always, thanks so much for your continued support!!

"...gotta' wear shades!"

We're very excited to tell you that we've added two fabulous sunglass lines in the store and we will take delivery of our first batch on Friday. From the creative genius David Tang of Hong Kong, we will carry a great selection of his 'Shanghai Tang' brand glasses. We'll also be getting a cool range from Hackett of London. Nothing like some new shades to round out your look!!

fifth agency

Just wanted to mention, my handsome, brilliant son, William has a new business venture booking bands and his website is really badass! Check it out.... www.fifthagency.com

Ripped jeans are BACK!!!

Jet Jeans by John Eshaya have arrived and are some of our new favorites! Great fit and perfectly distressed!! Check out Lindsay Lohan in some Jet Jeans (and a Kain tee!!). What more do you need??

It's Spring!!

Well, at least on the calendar. But we have so many cute things for the weather that is coming soon. I love the new William Rast jacket and we have plenty of their jeans in too. And, more great jewelry...the Mima collection has arrived!

'da bulls!!

Anybody see the Bulls game last night? Bulls had a slow start and never ahead one minute until the middle of the 2nd quarter, but after that they were unstoppable. Derrick Rose was on fire and could not miss, fadeaways from all over the court, lay-ups with triple coverage, 3 pointers galore. Kirk was firing his fair share of 3's as well and the new guy Salmons was on a tear.
Playoffs here we come!!

Alicia Bell shirts!

These are absoulutely wonderful and are flying out of the store. Alica is another wonderful local designer whose shirts are easy to wear to work or just for fun!! They arrived yesterday and are clearly a big hit already. We've ordered more this afternoon!

Only have a second, shop is packed!!! Had to let you know KOVA + T is in the house!!!!! Great lace leggings and really cute tees!

Just got home from an awesome day at the shop. Besides getting some really great James Perse, I also wanted to tell you about my nephew John whose band is playing at the Double Door tomorrow night. His band, the Virginia Gentleman is backing up the Beer Nuts. Check it out, it should be a great time!!
Peace and Love,
Lauren

Wednesday March 18th

Only at G A V I N !

Theresa!

We went to the show on Friday night and it was absolutely incredible!! Theresa Andersson is an amazing artist with a huge voice and energy that fills the room. She's also adorable and has agreed to let G A V I N pick out an outfit for her next television appearance!! (We missed her recent Conan O'Brian gig...boo!) She definitely knows how to 'cassez le 'look"!!

Sacatinta!

More goodies arrived today in the form of a fabulous selection of Sacatinta bags! My dear friend Elizabeth Etienne designs these bags in Paris and has them manufactured by women's cooperatives in Mexico. This fair trade practice allows the women to provide a better standard of living for their families, educate their children and contributes to the general welfare of the communities in which they live.

They are unique, colorful, hand-embroidered and signed by the woman that lovingly created each piece.

New Rebecca Taylor

Some great Rebecca Taylor arrived today and we've got it out already for you. Sweaters, pants, dresses...adorable!

How about some music too!

For those of you in the area, Theresa Andersson is playing at SPACE tomorrow night. Saw her last fall and she is amazing, cute and very funky!! This is a fun video she did in her kitchen....

Genetic jeans!

Carmen looks great in these Genetic Denim Shane Jeans which are in the store now! Come see our entire Genetic line and we have more on the way!!

Boots!!

We're really excited to let you know that we have placed our first order for some awesome boots from Italy. They're called Fiorentini+Baker and they have become synonomous with throw away chic, or in my terms, breaking the look. You can wear them with with jeans or a ballgown! The way you wear them is as important as their handmade, Bolognese construction. We're ordering ten different styles and you can check their range out at http://www.fiorentini-baker.com/ We'll let you know as soon as they arrive!!

Always t-shirt weather...

The Kain T's are in!!! So cute!!

Pocket tanks and tees and drop sleeve tees in many colors including their new blue and pink. Stop in and check 'em out!!

More fun at Gavin, I don't know about you but I need help!!!! The stress is killing me. Lisa Farmouth is going to change that. She is giving a yoga class at GAVIN Thursday March 12th at 7 p.m. We will see how it goes and it may turn into a regular thing!! Come and strike a pose!!
Krishna-on!!
